MC’s 13th Birthday

Happy birthday! Muppet Central is now 13 years old. The site debuted 13 years ago on January 28, 1998.

Back when the site first started The Jim Henson Company still owned all of their original properties including the Muppets and Sesame Street. Two new feature films were in development simultaneously, Muppets From Space and Elmo in Grouchland. Even though many changes have occurred throughout the EM.TV and Disney years, we’ve been honored to be a small part of it and to provide a place for fan discussion and interaction.

We want to thank all of the staff, past and present who have given so much of their time and giftings to make Muppet Central a great place. Every member here is a vital part of what makes Muppet Central special. Thanks for doing your part in keeping Jim Henson’s vision of the Muppets alive. We believe great days are ahead.

While we’re celebrating thirteen years, we are also looking towards the future. What do you think the future holds for the Muppets? What is your prediction for 2011? Share your opinions in the below discussion and let us know what you think will happen with the Muppets in this upcoming year.
